price: SOLD
Japanese shin hanga woodblock print by Ito Yuhan (1882-1951) titled "Sailboats in the Sunset Glow" (aka Tsukuda Jima). This image is one of a limited number of woodblock prints by this artist that were published by Nishinomiya Yosaku in the 1930s. Signed in kanji at the lower right corner of the image. The publisher's seal is in the lower left margin in kanji and on the back in English. Paper: 15 5/8" x 10 5/8" (image: 14 5/8" x 9 5/8"). The painterly effect in Ito Yuhan's woodblock prints is achieved through the elimination of black key block lines. Very good, clean overall condition with full margins. There is a slight fade line evident at the top and top right. The top back has a small amount of tape residue that extends to the front at the very edge. There are two small pieces of paper adhering to the back edge where it had originally been tipped to a folder.
